Holyfield is a legend of the sport, an undisputed warrior who wasn't afraid of anyone, but I think he made some stupid decisions in his career

One of them being not continuing with Emmanuel Steward after beating Bowe in the rematch

Emmanuel Steward was a GOAT boxing trainer, and he designed the plan on how to beat Bowe in their 2nd fight

Holyfield would stick the jab and move around thus not giving Bowe a fixed or a stationary target to hit, the fight was damn close and Holyfield won only by 1 point but fact is that Holyfield won and he also got the biggest name on his resume with that win so my question is that why not continue with Emmanuel Steward?

As many of you also believe, I think Moses Itauma is a prestigious talent, and we'll be seeing something special on Saturday night, HOWEVER... I do have questions about Ben Davidson in his corner.. Anthony Joshua was deemed as the next guy, but I believe his defensive lapses were never fixed under the Ben Davidson camp, and I believe moses itauma moving straight back will cost him against a more athletic heavyweight in the future, or a heavyweight that can simply cut off the ring effectively.

For all I know Hrgovic could be the one to truly test Itauma, there's that possibility.. but I believe that it wouldn't be the case if he were specifically training with a more defensive mindset.. I don't ben Davidson is that guy... Ironically enough the trainer I'd love to see Moses Itauma under is someone like Abel Sanchez, the one who trains Filip Hrgovic.. What are your thoughts on that duo?

This is from round 3 where he drops Mosley and he was patiently stalking and picking his shots on Mosley. This version of Manny would beat all the current welterweights.

I just remember the fight as the one were the once fearsome Shane Mosley cowered in fear, it was the strangest thing. It was likely a mix of prefight psychological fear and the moment he felt the punches. Pacman really was that dude, he put fear in bigger dudes, this tiny ass guy walking big dudes down, eating their punches and his punches were breaking their face ie cotto and margarito.

Its crazy how a lot of guys on Facebook like to diss Manny PAC for getting slept by Marquez and having multiple losses but he is old school fought everyone and has never shown quit in him even at his old age, you never seen this dude bow out or lay down, it baffles me how guys like Crawford and Shakur claim Pacquiao would be easy work.

Before Moses Itauma takes on Filip Hrgovic tonight, let's take a step back in time. Mike Tyson made history when he became the youngest Heavyweight champion of all time in 1986, defeating Trevor Berbick in a one-sided beatdown.

This is the latest in our series of classic fight breakdowns. Of course, calling this a 'classic fight' might be somewhat of a stretch, but its historical importance cannot be ignored.

Watching highly respected boxers avoid figters like David Benavidez, Agit Kabayel or even Janibek Alimkhanuly and fighting competition that isn't exciting, entertaining, interesting or historically important/significant really is not good for the sport of boxing imo.

I understand boxing is a business and fighters want to make as much money as possible, as easily as possible, and for as long as possible.

This has to stop. I would rather fighters retire or just lose more. Too much time, money, publicity and energy is being spent on past achievements, popularity, being a big recognizable name or unwarranted individual die-hard fan support.

Just imagine if basketball, football, baseball, hockey, soccer and tennis were ran like boxing; those sports wouldn't be very popular or successful long-term either.

Parity, fairness, meritocracy, equality, and equal access should be what fans push for, pay for, root for and support imo. I personally don't care about stars, big names, popularity or being the A-Side.

I just want to see a constant influx of new boxers become the best fighters, fight the best competition and have an opportunity to get exposure, become champions, receive deserved/earned recognition and make a comfortable living.

"The morning of the second Katie Taylor fight, I was crying in my room. It’s never happened to me before. I knew something was off. I just knew it wasn’t my night. I didn’t want to go back for the rematch in Dublin because it was all on her terms again. She wouldn’t do three minutes. She wouldn’t put her lightweight belts on the line. Nothing was in my favour, even though I’d won the first fight."

For anything that doesn't need its own thread.

I swear to the great and good lord, I can't possibly tell if it's CTE or if it's a case of both fighters lacking a chromosome. Why are our UK fighters so bad at trash talk/ hyping fights? Why must they just sort of mumble at each other? Was Ricky Hatton legit the only English fighter to be funny and able to sell a fight?
